when processing an instant message.

<background>
<p>
TMSNC is a Textbased client for the MSN instant messaging protocol.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Nico Golde reported a stack-based buffer overflow when processing a MSN
packet with a UBX command containing a large UBX payload length field.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="normal">
<p>
A remote attacker could send a specially crafted message, possibly
resulting in the execution of arbitrary code.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
There is no known workaround at this time.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
Since TMSNC is no longer maintained, we recommend that users unmerge
the vulnerable package and switch to another console-based MSN client
such as CenterIM or Pebrot:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --unmerge "net-im/tmsnc"</code>
